Rob, what file do you have that in?
In BackupPC::Storage::Text.pm the function ConfigDataRead
has:
$conf->{IncrLevels} = [1] if ( !defined($conf->{IncrLevels}) );
This is exactly what I am seeing in the web interface, if I edit the
config I see the override enabled and the levels set to 1. It also
matches what I am seeing in my backups (see
[BackupPC-users] Unable to get multilevel incrementals working at
http://www.mail-archive.com/backuppc-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg07619.html
and
[BackupPC-devel] BackupPC web interface bug with incrlevel at
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00147.html
Do you have the $Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3]; defined in a per host
file rather than the main config.pl file?

[BackupPC-users] Use Certificate Authority to simplify key exchange?
Hi all, Is there a way to generate the ssh keys needed for rsync data transfers using a Certificate Authority (like Ebox)? This might simplify the process of issuing security keys to rsync transfer client machines. This would be instead of using the command "ssh-keygen -t rsa" and manually copying keys between backuppc server and client machines. Thanks Jon __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[BackupPC-users] minor runtime/config error
hi --
i recently did a fresh install of 3.0.0. i have no PCs in my
network, and the machine has no samba software installed on it.
backuppc complains about smbclient and nmblookup being missing,
and refuses to run, though i have no use for either one. i.e.:
# /etc/init.d/backuppc restart
Restarting backuppc: 2007-11-02 12:11:33 $Conf{SmbClientPath} =
'/usr/bin/smbclient' is not a valid executable program
my workaround was to set those paths to /bin/cat. (experimenting
just now, it seems i could also have set them to null.)
in contrast, i also didn't have File::RsyncP installed (which i
needed for one host -- mostly i use tar), and that error didn't
show up until i tried to run a backup for that host, and the
error was reported right in the host summary status box for that
host. this seems like the preferable failure mode, to me.

Re: [BackupPC-users] remove host from "failures that need attention"
This problem seems to have gone away on its own. It took a while, and I don't notice that it was related in any way to any of my "time variables", such as FullPeriod, etc. Oh well. -Rob Rob Owens wrote: > I had a host machine that I took offline.

Re: [BackupPC-users] Incremental backup levels not working.
I have it working in 3.0
$Conf{IncrLevels} = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6];
The backup summary shows that it is, in fact, performing multilevel backups.

I haven't found anything unusual in last night's log, so I guess this temp. problem didn't confuse backuppc too much. Ralf - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Full backups with SMB transfer the whole bunch, while a full backup with rsync only transfers the changed files.
